I've never raised water lettuce or any water plants. But I did raise hundreds to thousands of cacti and succulents. Very old lighting was 4 to 1 ratio of cool white fluorescents to incandescent, by wattage. I'm not expert at all, but I have never heard of plants needing UVB. In fact my ficas use to die in my cham cages. And I raised a lot of impatience under regular fluorescents in my basement.



With today's good plant bulbs, I would think they would be better than UVB. But, I'm going to wait to see what more knowledgeable people say too.
